I have a question.
Does this list allow for attachments?
I am now scanning information I have about sleep,
which I would like to send, but it is rather long, and
think to send in attachment would be better.
If you would rather I don't send to list, as it will be rather
large, just say so, and any who want it can e-mail me
privately for it.

Yes, it does. But some members will object to that. This list
has another possibility: uploading to "Files". If you go to
the HarshaSatsangh home page on onelist.com, you will see a
link called "files". Uploading that way makes it possible to
download it when wanted. Looking forward to read it,

I enjoyed it very much; please scan the rest. Regarding the
different theories, I would vote for the electricity; during
K. rising, on several occasions I could notice the body would
take an electrical charge without any external cause. As this
should be impossible according to science at the 70's, it was
never mentioned. But it fits in very well with that theory;
during those 8 months, sleep was less than 3 hours and at
unfavorable times (ranging from 3...6 and 5...8 AM). What was
very strange, is that at a certain moment, after "union" and
the samadhis, the generation of this energy collapses to its
value before the K. rising and the process seems to start all
over again, at a different "stage" or "level" of course,
progressing at a much slower speed. Despite knowing "better",
having to sleep some 6 hours again, was interpreted as a kind
of fall-back

I have uploaded the file, thank you for the information!
I did my best to edit it so one wouldn't have to scroll to the side to read,

I hope you enjoy it.

Thank you, I have uploaded the rest of the article.
This may be redundant to many, but I feel the need to
point out that we are multidimensional beings, meaning
we exist on many levels. To me (!) this means that
there are ranges of energy vibration that are most directly
related to every level.
This report on sleep is dealing with the range of vibrations
within the frame work of the physical realm that are most
condusive for maintaining optimum PHYSICAL health.
The "nerve energy" generated and needed by the body to
maintain balanced "process and cellular" function does
not appear to me (!) to be of the same range as that of
Kundalini, or other such energies that we utilize in other
areas of our being.
YES, energies can and do permeate and super-impose
on other levels. But, sleep, and the need for it, is strictly
a physiological requirement to keep the physical body
running in optimal health.
Now, I do believe that the process of "acension" can be
carried out in such a way as to raise the vibratory rate of the
physical body to carry it throught to a new level. But, until
that time when we have accomplished this feat, I don't see
how any other energies that we work with in terms of
"spiritual" practices can benefit the physical body as much
as what the body is biologically set up to do for itself.
By this I mean, the body is a wonderfully complex system
that can "take care of itself" as long as we provide it with
what it absolutely needs to function.
What we DO in this day and age is tax our bodies greatly
by consuming substances that the body has no metabolic
need for! These substances are then treated as poison,
and the body expends a great amount of energy eliminating
them. After awhile of continual consumption without any
pure nutrition, our cells begin to be "changed" by the
presence of toxins.
Anyway, my thoughts on this is it would behoove us to make
sure our body is in optimal form first, in order to benefit
from the full effects of initiating these other "energies".
This is just my view, mind you, based on my observations on
what manifesting on this physical level is all about.
